Each of us has known moments of
striking
disclosure, when the walls that limit our perceptions are
pushed
back to reveal the undreamed of.
A sudden change of scale often brings about this enlargement of vision,
like the first glimpse of a galaxy through the telescope or
a drop of water
brought into microscopic focus. The infinitesimal order of nature
commands the same awe as its cosmic grandeur.

When, however, the perceived
miracle is a
human achievement, the awe is tempered with pride.
We learn something new about ourselves and our capabilities when, for
example, we experience for the first time the revelation of lace.
